"a small, thick biscuit, usually rich with cream and eggs, that is cut into diamond or stick-like shapes and baked in an oven or cooked on a griddle. The flour used is usually wheat, barley or oatmeal, with baking powder acting as the leavening agent. Scones are believed to have originated in Scotland as a griddle-baked flat bread." - Mrbreakfast.com

Well, what I made had a biscuit like crust on the top with a soft, light cake like interior on the bottom! So I guess I actually ended up making a hybrid between a scone and a cup cake - hence, I am going to call my product a scone-cake :D The basic recipe is from one of my favourite blogs: Litebite. I came across the recipe for oatmeal and banana scone and had to try it for breakfast this weekend. I also added few other goodies that I felt like and went ahead to bake them in ramekins which ended up as my so called 'scone-cakes'. Irrespective of what it really is, we actually enjoyed having it. One scone-cake with a mug of hot chocolate drink and you are ready to go! Very filling, easy, nutritious and wholesome breakfast. Do give it a try ...
